FTP backup listing corrupt

[Patrick Mulvany]

I have three servers running Plesk 9.x on CentOS

I have previously been backing up to a hosted FTP service but have started FTPing backups to one of the other servers running Plesk.

The backup runs fine and the backups do not appear to be corrupted in any way however restoring via the GUI I have issues.

I have transferred all the old backup files to the new server. Both these and the new backups can be restored by running firefox on the FTP server pointing at the backup manager URL on DR server.

However both the main server and the DR server see a corrupted view of FTP repository's directory listing.

Attempting to restore them via the GUI from the FTP repository I first see extra info in front of the file name and the file size is wrong

And then when I try and restore the file it does not work as it tries to use the wrong (longer) name.

Looking in the log /usr/local/psa/PMM/logs/pmmcli.log.2010-09-15-235749

Everything looks ok except that the name and filename look the same as on the screen :-

<dump description="" owner-guid="" name="login-user psacln 441395200 Sep 16 01:48 drtest_1006162029.tar
" creation-date="1006162029" fullname="login-user psacln 441395200 Sep 16 01:48 drtest_1006162029.tar" size="1">
<dump-status dump-status="OK">
</dump-status>
</dump>

This looks exactly like the long display for listing in FTP

I noticed on the original hosting platform the permissions were set to 0600 not 0644 but changing that setting did not fix the issue.

I have been trying to work out what is wrong but with no success.

Have I got some missing switch or setting that I need to use so the PROFTP server does not return the extra information or is something else wrong?

Thanks
